Daniel started us out with the introduction, then handed us off to Alexia for our service. She was spectacular with conversation, pleasantries and all around super service. She took drink orders and paced with us to get to the food orders. It took a while for food to arrive, but the chips saved the day. When meals were presented, we all dove it. The Mediterranean flat bread was a bit different, with artichokes, olives, feta and such. My wife said it was ok but not real good. My baked haddock had too much buttered bread crumbs and the tartar sauce was a few pickle pieces in mayonnaise. The mashed potatoes were good. The cheeseburger was fantastic, so the patron said and she took half home, it was soo large, at least a half pounder. The Philly steak hoagie was very tasty with mushrooms and onions and cheese, he also took half home for the next day. As I stated, the service special, the food, we will try other things to get the stars back to 5.

Everything came out awful. Nearly inedible. Have no idea what went wrong but something did. Worst meal out my wife and I have had - maybe ever. Atmosphere is nice but it's just not worth it. Skip it.

Date night! Finally , my wish to try Thai Ruby is granted. We went in a Monday night around 430 pm…read moreand were seated in the front window . Yay! I Iove the decor and lighting in here. Lights are low, dark wood, dark blue seating.... Totally different than other Village Square restaurants I've been too. In my opinion, the quietness inside is just wonderful for a change. We were served by Jack. My husband and I both appreciated his quiet friendly grace. He served a rather high maintenance table behind us with such patience, it was amazing to hear . No we weren't eavesdropping, they were being ridiculous. Anyhoo, we both got the spicy shrimp pad Thai and the spicy level was perfect. Hot enough to make me lightly sputter but just once. . My husband said, I could go back there again while I had already planned on what I'd like to try next time.

After not eating here for quite some time, I thought I would give it another shot…read more Many of the appetizers are around $12, a Thai tea is $9 and Tom Kha Gai soup for two is $13.99. Tonight we ordered the Panang Curry with chicken for $18.00. The dinner entree comes with zucchini and red peppers. I explained that I can't eat peppers and politely asked if they could substitute broccoli or green beans. I was told they can't make any substitutions and could only provide extra zucchini. Why??? The soup was served warm, almost room temp, and the portion is small considering the size of the bowl. The curry was served with an extremely small portion of rice, about the size of an ice cream scoop. About halfway through the dinner, the server returned to check on us and I asked for more rice. When the bill arrived, I noticed a separate $4 charge for jasmine rice. At no point did the server mention there would be an extra charge. I could buy a whole bag of rice for that price! I brought it to the manager's attention and was told that it's considered a side dish and the price is listed on the menu. Unfortunately, we were not offered a menu after ordering and nobody verbally advised us that it would be an extra charge. Charging $4 for a small scoop of rice, without informing the customer beforehand, feels excessive and misleading. The food may be good, but between the high prices, refusal to accommodate a simple vegetable substitution and unexpected charges, the overall experience simply does not sit well with us. Their high prices, small portions, lack of flexibility and transparency has become frustrating enough that we will not be returning.

This Sunday, was his first "Nonna's Sunday Sauce" day. This meal was by far the best, family style dinner we've ever had. So many delicious courses, so much food! Exceptional service (Michele), wonderful bottle of wine (Chianti) lovely atmosphere (accordion players) and tiramisu for dessert. We brought two others with us and they as well, couldn't stop raving about the entire evening. Our seating was at 4 PM, apparently the next seating was at 6:30, we therefore had more than enough time to enjoy everything. Thank you, Paulie. You did an extraordinary job.

We've all had cheesesteak subs that might have had a bit of gristle. It's steak. Meat has gristle, but this sub had it throughout. It was horrible. I was so disappointed - I really wanted to take it back, and ask someone from the kitchen to take a bite. But, alas.... As someone who eats cheesesteak subs, I'm pretty lazy, so I just spit out the gross part and kept eating it. But then I thought I would write a review on Yelp about how bad it was. Ya know, like a lazy person. On a bright note, the pizza was outstanding. Stick with the deluxe pizza w/extra cheese, and you'll be happy. To the Marcos management team.... You should really think hard about offering such a sub par cheesesteak sub. Maybe switch to minute steaks, or a better cut of beef that is all meat. Just my two cents. Or, just stick to pizza. You do that VERY well. Stop trying to be all things to everyone. Focus on your core competency- Fast fresh great tasting pizza!

Instead of taking up a whole table, I opted to sit at the bar and brought a book to read with me. The restaurant, to my surprise, was busier than I expected. I sat down at the bar next to a nice gentleman and lady working on her computer down the row. I was greeted by the waitress who offered me a drink right away. Since it was a Tuesday, I opted for a Shirley Temple. It was actually pretty good. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered the soup, salad, and breadsticks. My order came out pretty quickly, and the pasta figioli was just as I expected. The dressing on the salad was cold and delicious. And who's going to ever complain about their breadsticks? All in all, really great experience. Highly recommend hitting the Olive Garden if you're in the villages and want a classic, italian meal.

It was good but I wish they stated it was in a pizza crust. Hubby loved it so no big deal. Here's what happened. While cutting the caesar salad (although I ordered Italian) a waitress said oh I gave you the wrong pizza. I said well you can't serve it now. She handed me my pizza and I kept the mistake pizza too. Mistakes happen so no big deal but I would not want to be served a pizza that was given to someone else. Anyways pizza is top notch!! We will totally go again and try the full size pizza. We wish they were in Brownwood Square because having a pizza while hanging out in the square would be great!
